Can anyone tell me how to map strings with integers in ‘C’ programming language?



for example :  the strings taken from the input from the user are  SUM , DAM , PEN ,PUT ,VAN.

we need to map like this : SUM - 1;

DAM -2;

PEN - 3;

PUT - 4;

VAN -5;



those strings are  to be taken from the user input.

prefered: c language

for java ou can look here http://tutorials.jenkov.com/java-collections/map.html but for C you’ll have to implement your own hash table datastructure. this is why C++ and java are most common in programming contests. most important and frequently used data structures are already provided in the standard library.

Well, you can create a double dimensional array and store these strings and use the row numbers as mapping to the strings.
